The multiplicity per rapidity of the well-identified particles $\pi^{-}$, $\pi^{+}$, $k^{-}$, $k^{+}$, $\bar{p}$, $p$, and $p-\bar{p}$ measured in different high-energy experiments, at energies ranging from $6.3$ to $5500~$GeV, are…
We show that the dependence of the charged particle multiplicity on the centre-of-mass energy of the collision is, in the String Percolation Model, driven by the same power law behavior in both proton-proton and nucleus- nucleus collisions.…
The perturbative QCD provides a good overall description of both the jet and hadron multiplicities in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation reaction. In this description the hadrons are considered as dual to partons at a small resolution parameter…
